Legal malpractice may occur where a lawyer acts in a negligent manner when providing legal advice or representation. Legal malpractice cases consist of two cases in one; the malpractice claim itself and the underlying lawsuit or transaction out of which the malpractice claim originates. Our attorneys have tried cases involving a wide range of issues; from personal injury to complex commercial cases. Our attorneys’ experience allows our clients to leverage a broad-based litigation base to defend them across a wide spectrum of practices. In addition to this trial experience, our attorneys have argued numerous cases to successful appeals upholding the successes gained at trial.

Choosing the right attorney to represent you is particularly important in today’s economic climate as experts believe the stage is set for a surge in legal malpractice lawsuits. (See Karen Sloan, “Legal Malpractice Cases May Surge as Economy Tanks,” The National Law Journal, February 23, 2009.) Indeed, a recent American Bar Association (ABA) study that looked at legal malpractice claims filed between 2004 and 2007 found that the total number of claims increased by more than 36 percent compared to the previous three-year period. Even transactional attorneys who are more immune to legal malpractice claims are properly being targeted by dissatisfied investors.

Experts even predict an increase in legal malpractice suits initiated by bankruptcy trustees that target attorneys working for the bankrupt entity as such bankruptcy trustees have a fiduciary responsibility to collect as many assets as possible to distribute to creditors, and that includes funds from a potential legal malpractice suit. (See Sloan). Furthermore, with increased corporate bankruptcies, bankruptcy trustees and state-appointed receivers are likely to increase the frequency and intensity of their investigations into the advice professionals provide their bankrupt clients.

Given the increased scrutiny of legal professionals across all areas of practice, it is crucial to retain an attorney with the depth and breadth of practice to represent you in your legal malpractice action. Our attorneys’ provide just such a mix of experience and will provide our clients the ability to aggressively represent their interests at trial and beyond through all levels of appeal. And while our attorneys zealously prosecute malpractice claims, they are also sensitive to the impact such claims can have on our clients’ reputations. As such, our attorneys just as zealously pursue creative solutions to these claims including motion practice, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution when appropriate.
